My dept head and one of our co-managers want me to be our meat dept backup when our manager is on vacation next week. I know how to cut and how to order but thats the extent of my know-how. We have a key-retailing check coming monday. I'm stressing over this. I've said many times I don't think I'm ready but th...

So I have an idiot CSM who hides hours. She schedules people as file clerks but they have never did the job before. She schedules baggers as cashiers and vice versa. She schedule other people in the front end to admin support. All of these people are just regular cashiers and baggers. Can she get in troub...

Here's the situation real fast. Im an overnight grocery employee and my department head is a fist full of sociopath. My schedule was set a certain way for this week. She didn't like it when she came in on Monday morning, so she altered two days of my schedule to her liking, and it's more than an inconvenie...

I work in the meat/seafood dept. A few days ago, a customer managed to tear open a bag of flour or sugar, and had it spill from aisle 2, across the store, infront of the meat department, all the way to aisle 10 or something. I was in the cooler, cleaning the grinder, and my coworker was helping customers...

So question: how many days in a row can someone be scheduled to work between days off? This week, I'm working 5 days (which is okay, even if they're all short shifts), but I've heard of someone getting scheduled for 9 straight days...kinda hard to schedule anything with something like that.

If some one on probation accidentally does a no call no show will they be fired. It was an honest mistake got there days off mixed up. Took Monday when it should have been tuesday. Went back to work and was told they were suspended for 4 days. Is that immediate termination?

About two or three weeks ago, I got my vacation request form. It has 6 lines (#1 week beginning, #2 week beginning, etc) listed. I already filled out week #1 for vacation in July. Should I only take one vacation or should I put in a request for more?

So, I was recently hired by Kroger (though I'm honestly leery about it now) for cashier. The equipment we have is just so messed up that the scales don't register weighted items, the scanners don't read half of the barcodes, the things will friggin' ring double of an item without it even scanning an it...

So, as of right now, I am the backup Customer Service Coordinator at my Kroger, but I've been offered a spot in the deli by the head of the meat department. I was wondering how tough the deli is, and how hard the learning curve/adjustment would be from going from front end to meat department. Any advice? S...

He wanted some Skoal so I went to get it. When I got back to my register he asked if I was going to ID him. I said yes, I was just looking at your eyes, checking for crows feet lol! I harassed him a little over his picture. Glad his ID checked out, what would I have done?

... it would seem corporate's "solution" is to staff stores with more co-managers and use them to "fill" in the gaps. I don't know how widespread this is becoming, but I know at my store, we're up to seven co-managers. At another store which I have friends that work at, that store...

Back in 2013, I asked that Kroger stop taking the automatic weekly United Way donations out of my check, due to the tax holiday not being renewed that had been in place for a number of years... making my paycheck much smaller. Now, I notice that they are taking it out again ($1 a week). I have neither bee...

Last year when the minimum wage went up 15 cents I got a 15 cents raise starting from January 2014. This year the minimum wage went up another 15 cents, but I did not get a raise. I'm at $8.30 now and I'm a certified pharmacy tech, shouldn't I be getting $8.45 starting from January 2015? Just wondering, 15 c...

I haven't seen our paper schedule yet. This week we had myself and a few other courtesy clerks with around 12 hours. But I have them again next week. I wonder if the FEM whom I have written about so much on here is sending a 'lesson' or if it's a repeat again. I will have to see the paper schedule to find out. On...
